Espo Mode
The Gift Exchange
Great Father is dropping crates on the battlefield! Get a gift each time you smash your opponent’s crate… or your own!
How it Works
- Build a custom deck using cards from your own collection.
- At the start of your turn, provided there is not a Winter’s Veil Gift on your side of the field, Greatfather Winter will drop one off.
- Destroying a Gift will give you a Stolen Winter’s Veil Gift.
- Stolen Winter’s Veil Gift allows you to Discover a card from the class of the player the originating Gift minion came from.
- You are only able to receive cards which initially cost at least 5 mana.
- The cost of the card is reduced by 5 mana.
- You are unable to Discover weapons.
- If you obtain a Stolen Gift through a card like Mind Vision, it will only pull cards from the neutral set.
- You have a chance of seeing Hardpacked Snowballs in the Discover mechanic.
